'Distance' in the Bible

As He entered a village, He was met by ten lepers who stood at a distance;

But the tax collector, standing at a distance, would not even raise his eyes toward heaven, but was striking his chest [in humility and repentance], saying, ‘God, be merciful and gracious to me, the [especially wicked] sinner [that I am]!’

Then they seized Him, and led Him away and brought Him to the [elegant] house of the [Jewish] high priest. And Peter was following at a [safe] distance.

And all His acquaintances and the women who had accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, watching these things.
